Simple future tense

September 21, 2012 pdf

The simple future tense is used to make simple predictions about the future. We do not usually use this tense to talk about pre-planned future events.

The simple future tense is made with will/shall + first form of the verb.

Study the following examples.

I will come.

She will go.

In British English, shall can be used instead of will with first person pronouns (I and we). In American English, shall is not normally used.

I will not do it. (US)

I shall not do it. OR I will not do it. (GB)

Exercise

1. Are you ready?

2. Is the room spacious?

3. Do you have enough money to spend?

4. Does the house have a large kitchen?
